I think I’ll be carrying one of those cards in my wallet for the times when I end up in there.
Lexington KY Wi-Fi Seekers should note that Common Grounds has always offered free wifi, and has more room than most Lexington Starbucks dining areas. And between 7 and 8 AM you get a free muffin. I recommend the Cafe Italiano with Caramel.
